Did my tortoise lay eggs???
This morning I found two smooth white pebble like things in my torts enclosure. I initially thought my boys must've been messing with them, but have now come to what seems like the only possible conclusion - eggs!
So I have a few questions...
Can tortoises lay eggs with no male present?
Is one of my tortoises male?
What do I do with the eggs? (I'm assuming they are not fertile)
I have two UK captive bred Hermans, they were hatched August 2008 so they are 8 years old. They were incubated to be female so always assumed they were both female. Now looking at them I think one may actually be male.
I'm not sure how to upload photos but one of them has a considerably longer tail than the other, that's the only difference really.
